Things to do in Kavala
When you arrive in Kavala, the things to do are actually pleasant moments that won't tire you out but will nourish your soul. In the mornings, you can start your day by walking through the narrow streets of the old town; getting lost among the colorful bay houses as you walk along the cobblestone sidewalks is an experience in itself. There is nothing like climbing Kavala Castle and taking a breath against the sea, dreaming of the past while enjoying the view. While visiting the historical buildings, be sure to see the Imaret and the house of Kavalalı Mehmet Ali Pasha, each of them bears traces of the Ottoman Empire and has many stories to tell. When you go down to the city center, taking a walk along the beach, watching the fishing boats, drinking frappe in the local cafes allows you to immerse yourself in the slow pace of Kavala. At sunset, it is best to sit in one of the restaurants on the beach and enjoy fresh seafood. If you have time, spend a day on Thassos Island, take the ferry in the morning, go to a beach on the island, swim and sunbathe, and return to Kavala in the afternoon. For those who want to shop, buying Kavala cookies from small boutiques will be a sweet souvenir you can take back to your loved ones. And finally, travel without much planning, Kavala is already slowly revealing itself to you.
